Just my thoughts on all things Soccer.
"I guess I've never viewed soccer as some sort of controlled substance. To me, it's probably more like Nutella. The rest of the world clearly loves it and puts it on almost everything, but here in America we're like, "I don't know, man, it tastes like almonds."

SuperDraft live thread

Here are the picks so far

01 - Toronto FC - Maurice Edu - M - U of Maryland

02 - Crew - Bakary Soumare - D - U of VirginaHe was one of the reasons his side got to the semis in the College Cup. He is a big man with some great raw talent.

03 - Wizards - Michael Harrington - D - North CarolinaHarrington is quick and makes smart plays. KC needed some defensive help and it looks like they have got some.

04 - Real Salt Lake - Chris Seitz - GK - U of Maryland, U-20 Nat teamReal get the best goalkeeper in college with this pick. At 6'4", Seitz will be a beast between the posts, but he can also get down fast for low balls. He has a big future ahead of him with the US national side as long as Real develops him right.

05 - New England (from LA) - Wells Thompson - M - U of VirginaHe can run at defenders and should fit the spot the Dempsey has left open

09 - FC Dallas - Anthony Wallace - D/M - South Florida, U-20 Nat teamWallace has been amazing with the U-20s, but he is going to need some training before he makes the huge impact that he is bound to make on the league. He is a Generation Adidas player so this is a very smart add by FCD.

10 - Toronto (from LA, from COL) - Andrew Boyens - D - New MexicoThis is a big deal for Mo and Toronto. Boyens has great talent and skill and will be ready to get into the game from day 1.

11 - United - Bryan Arguez - D/M - West Kendall, U-20Another great standout on the U-20 team. He has wonderful ball control.

12 - Revolution - Amaechi Igwe - D - Santa Clara, U-20The U-20s keep adding up. Igwe is listed as a defender but played forward in college. He can play just about anywhere.

13 - Dynamo - John Michael Hayden - M - Indiana UniversityVery interesting pick. Would have thought they would have gone with a defender instead of a more attacking mid.
